TQhe Federal Government of Somalia pondered the impact of the looming exit of Atmis and lodged the request in December last year in New York, for the establishment of a new mission as a post-transition protection force for the local communities and the international community.
“While Somalia has made strides in the fight against al-Shabaab, Somalia acknowledges that it is not yet ready to take over full responsibility for its security sector from Atmis by 2024,” said a spokesperson for the European Union, a key security and state building partner for Somalia.
